Bill Bealey has worked at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (Edinburgh) for over 5 years. Bill works closely with UK stakeholders particularly the pollution regulation and nature conservation agencies. He provides advice on the impacts of nitrogen and acidification on ecosystems from industrial emissions, with an emphasis on intensive agricultural practices. His work focuses on key aspects of EU nature protection policy including the Habitats Directive and the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive. He provides application tools and screening models for assessing impacts on Natura 2000 sites and other protected habitats from these agricultural sources. He is also interested in biomonitoring techniques and their application in pollution control. Bill, therefore works at the interface between research science and society. He believes that science, applied creatively, can provide innovations for a better society. He is currently embarking on a part-time PhD looking at impacts of excessive nitrogen at the local landscape level which will involve vulnerability assessment methodology!
